Also check authority on the file on the host system. That can bite you sometimes.

Some more detail:

We didn't create the DDM file; it was created by the customer's people. And I have no clue whether it communicates by SNA or TCP, but my understanding is that the remote box is in New York.

It was, so far as I'm aware, created within the past few days.

When I go back into the office tomorrow morning, I can put together another test program, to determine whether I can read from the DDM file at all.

In the existing RPG program, CHAIN statements appear to be immediately returning with a "not found" condition.

In the case of the CPYF, it sat there for at least five minutes, probably longer, without exception messages (or any other kind of messages), and while it did create a local copy,with the correct meta-data, the local copy was completely empty.
